ANGELIN PRELJOCAL
SWAN LAKE
SEPTEMBER 21-22th
After “Snow White” and “Romeo and Juliet”, Angelin Preljocaj returns to narrative ballet and her taste for stories. Mixing Tchaikovsky’s musical masterpiece with more contemporary arrangements, he tackles this monument of the classical repertoire. A work begun in 2018 with “Ghost”, where he was already paying tribute to Marius Petipa by projecting himself into the choreographer’s imagination at the time when the idea of his “Swan Lake” came to him. Faithful to the original work, it transposes the story of the swan princess at the heart of the problems of our time.
At the edge of a lake, Rothbart wants to exploit a fossil energy deposit. When a young girl, Odette, seems to thwart his plans, he turns her into a swan. Elsewhere, during a party, Siegfried opposes his father who wants to partner with Rothbart to build a factory on the edge of the swan’s lake.

ERMIRA GORO
MEETINGS
SEPTEMBER 29th
With the desire to create a collective experience that values diversity and redefines the notion of power and beauty, Ermira Goro creates “Meetings” of very different people – gender, ethnicity, body, age, ability –Through this artistic endeavor, the aim is to detach viewers from associating dance solely with youthful, muscular, trained, “perfect” bodies.
How does one endure or enrich a movement from the peculiarities of each body? How does an “‘untaught’” body transform from a movement or rhythm that does not belong to its everyday vocabulary? What feelings can be caused by this almost voyeuristic matching?
Through the exploration of individuality and personal kinesiological expression, as well as the complexity and diversity of the performers bodies, “Meetings” leads viewers to distinguish parts of their own selves on stage, and to review parts of his own self and to review what “right” and “appropriate” means.
The International Dance Festival of Tirana invites all those who wish to participate in the choreographic work of the acclaimed choreographer Ermira Goro. The invitation is open to individuals of all ages, whether they are familiar with the art of dance or have no previous experience.
